Mayo-Free Deviled Eggs
Description
This recipe starts with perfectly hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved. The yolks are combined with a blend of plain or garlic hummus, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, ground turmeric, cayenne, smoked paprika, and sea salt. The ingredients are mashed and mixed to create a creamy filling that is then thinned with water to reach a pipeable consistency.
The deviled eggs are assembled by piping or spooning the filling into the egg whites and garnished with smoked paprika and herbs such as chives or dill. The use of hummus imparts a subtle garlic flavor and fluffy texture, distinguishing these deviled eggs from the mayonnaise-based variety.
This recipe offers a variation suitable for those avoiding mayonnaise or seeking a different flavor profile while maintaining the familiar deviled egg concept as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
EGGS
- 6 large egg
FILLING
- 1 Tbsp plain hummus or garlic hummus
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard or spicy mustard
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 ½ tsp honey or sub maple syrup, raw

Instructions
- Use one of our methods for perfect hard boiled eggs every time — our favorite being steaming!
- Once the eggs have been boiled, cooled, and peeled under cool running water, pat dry and halve with a sharp knife.
- One at a time, tip the eggs over (cut-side down) and transfer the yolks into a small mixing bowl (use a spoon to gently scrape out any remaining yolk if needed).
- To the yolks, add hummus, mustard, apple cider vinegar, oil, honey, turmeric, cayenne, smoked paprika, and salt. Mash to combine.
- Add water a little at a time until a smooth paste is formed. Then taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt to taste, vinegar for acidity, honey for sweetness, cayenne for heat, paprika for smokiness, or hummus for fluffy texure / garlic flavor.
- Transfer filling to a small piping bag or plastic bag with the corner clipped to pipe the yolk filling into the cooked egg whites (or simply use a spoon to fill the eggs).
- Garnish with paprika and fresh dill or chives (optional). Enjoy immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days (not freezer friendly).
